Abstract Text | A number of human cancers harbor somatic point mutations in the genes encoding isocitrate dehydrogenases 1 and 2 (IDH1 and IDH2). These mutations alter residues in the enzyme active sites and confer a gain-of-function in cancer cells, resulting in the accumulation and secretion of the oncometabolite (R)-2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG). We developed a small molecule, AGI-6780, that potently and selectively inhibits the tumor-associated mutant IDH2/R140Q. A crystal structure of AGI-6780 complexed with IDH2/R140Q revealed that the inhibitor binds in an allosteric manner at the dimer interface. The results of steady-state enzymology analysis were consistent with allostery and slow-tight binding by AGI-6780. Treatment with AGI-6780 induced differentiation of TF-1 erythroleukemia and primary human acute myelogenous leukemia cells in vitro. These data provide proof-of-concept that inhibitors targeting mutant IDH2/R140Q could have potential applications as a differentiation therapy for cancer. |

AGI-6780 | AGI6780 | IDH2 Inhibitor 5 | AGI-6780 inhibits mutant IDH2, potentially resulting in increased differentiation and decreased growth of cancer cells harboring IDH2 mutations (PMID: 23558173, PMID: 28986582, PMID: 30455381). |

IDH2 | R140Q | missense | gain of function | IDH2 R140Q lies within the substrate binding region of the Idh2 protein (UniProt.org). R140Q confers a gain of function to Idh2, enabling conversion of alpha-ketoglutarate to the onco-metabolite 2HG (R(-)-2-hydroxyglutarate), results in increased 2HG levels in patient samples, and is transforming in cell culture (PMID: 20171147, PMID: 23558173). |
